Project description:We report the analysis by inDrop single cell sequencing of mouse embryos at embryonic day E6.5, E7.5 and E8.5 as well as the analysis of stem cell derived synthetic embryos generated with the previously reported protocol (Amadei et al., 2021) and cultured to day 5, day 6 and day 8 of development. We find that all the cell types present in the natural embryos examined at these timepoints were also present in their synthetic counterparts. Furthermore, in these synthetic structures we observed formation of neuroectoderm and surface ectoderm, a beating heart, gut and primordial germ cells and development occurred inside extraembryonic membranes (yolk sac and amnion) similarly to what occurs in natural development. We conclude that these synthetic embryos are a unique tool to recapitulate mouse post-implantation development.

Project description:The signaling pathway for Nodal, a ligand of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, plays a central role in regulating the maintenance and/or differentiation of stem cell types that can be derived from the peri-implantation mouse embryo. Extraembryonic endoderm stem (XEN) cells are derived from the primitive endoderm of the blastocyst, which normally gives rise to the parietal and the visceral endoderm in vivo, but XEN cells do not contribute efficiently to the visceral endoderm in chimeric embryos. We have found that treatment of XEN cells with Nodal and/or Cripto, an EGF-CFC co-receptor for Nodal, results in up-regulation of markers for visceral endoderm as well as anterior visceral endoderm (AVE). Re-introduction of treated XEN cells into chimeric embryos by blastocyst injection or morula aggregation results in contribution to visceral endoderm and AVE. In culture, XEN cells do not express Cripto, but do express the related EGF-CFC co-receptor Cryptic and require Cryptic for Nodal signaling. Notably, the response to Nodal can be blocked by treatment with the ALK4/ALK5/ALK7 inhibitor SB431542, but Cripto treatment is unaffected, suggesting that its activity is independent of type I activin receptors. Gene set enrichment analysis of genome-wide expression signatures generated from XEN cells under these treatment conditions confirms the differing responses of Nodal- and Cripto-treated XEN cells to SB431542. Our findings define distinct pathways for Nodal and Cripto in the differentiation of visceral endoderm and AVE from XEN cells, and provide new insights into the specification of these cell types in vivo. Murine Xen-eyfg cell line treated with Alk4 inhibitor SB431542, Nodal and Cripto recombinant proteins.

Project description:Here, we constructed monkey blastoids resembling blastocysts in morphology and transcriptomics using naïve ESCs and optimized protocol. The synthetic blastoids could develop to embryonic disk stage with the structure of yolk sac, chorionic cavity, amnion cavity, primitive streak, connecting stalk along the rostral–caudal axis by in-vitro prolonged culture (IVC). Primordial germ cells, gastrulating cells, visceral endoderm/yolk-sac endoderm, three germ layers and haemato-endothelial progenitors were identified in the monkey blastoid IVC embryo by single-cell transcriptomics or immunostaining. Besides, pregnancies with early gestation sacs were achieved by transferring monkey blastoids to surrogates. Our results revealed the in-vitro gastrulation and in-vivo early pregnancy of primate synthetic embryos, providing a powerful system to dissect primate embryonic development with less ethical concerns and restrict access.

Project description:E5.0 entails an intermediate state for primitive endoderm (PE) to visceral endoderm (VE) differentiation: a process required for proper embryonic development. Hnf1b is essential for primitive to visceral endoderm differentiation from E4.5 to E5.5. To understand development at E5.0 and pinpoint the role Hnf1b in proper embryonic development, embryos were harvest at E5.0 and single cells from three WT embryos and 3 Hnf1b KO embryos were isolated, dissociated, and scRNA sequenced using smartseq2. For experiments on WT embryos, CD1 females were crossed with CD1 or homozygous E-cadherin-GFP males. Hnf1b -/+22 line was derived through IVF of oocytes of Black6 mice with EMMA strain EM:07827(B6.129P2(D2)-Hnf1btm1Sce/Orl) Sperm, that was bought from the EMMA institution in Orleans.

Project description:Blastocyst-derived stem cell lines were shown to self-organize into embryo-like structures in 3D cell culture environments. Here, we provide evidence that embryo-like structures can be generated solely based on transcription factor-mediated reprogramming of embryonic stem cells in a simple 3D co-culture system. Embryonic stem cells in these cultures self-organize into elongated, compartmentalized embryo-like structures reflecting aspects of the inner regions of the early post-implantation embryo. Single-cell RNA-seq reveals transcriptional profiles resembling epiblast, primitive-/visceral endoderm, and extraembryonic ectoderm of early murine embryos around E4.5–E5.5. In this stem cell-based embryo model, progression from rosette formation to lumenogenesis accompanied by progression from naïve- to primed pluripotency was observed within Epi-like cells. Additionally, lineage specification of primordial germ cells and distal/anterior visceral endoderm-like cells was observed in epiblast- or visceral endoderm-like compartments, respectively. The system presented in this study allows for fast and reproducible generation of embryo-like structures, providing an additional tool to study aspects of early embryogenesis.

Project description:In gastrulation, distinct progenitor cell populations are induced and sorted into the three germ layers ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. In order to identify genes involved in germ layer specification and morphogenesis, we identified genes differentially expressed between ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells. To do so, we first generated highly enriched pools of ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells. Mesendodermal cells were generated by over-expressing the Nodal signal Cyclops in wild type embryos and ectodermal cells were taken from mz-one-eyed-pinhead (oep) mutant embryos. We then compared the transcriptome of ectodermal versus mesendodermal cells taken from embryos at 7 hours post fertilization (hpf). In wild type embryos at this stage (70% epiboly), the first ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells have already been sorted into their respective germ layers and ingression of mesendodermal progenitors is still ongoing.

Project description:We report for the first time, the derivation and characterization of extra-embryonic endoderm (XEN) cells from primitive endoderm (PrE) of porcine (p) embryos. The pXEN cells can be reliably and reproducibly generated from parthenogenic, in vitro or in vivo derived embryos, and express canonical PrE or XEN cell genes (GATA4, GATA6, SOX17, SALL4, FOXA2, and HNF4A). Transcriptome analysis of pXEN cells revealed close resemblance to yolk sac than any other embryonic or extraembryonic tissue. When introduced into blastocyst stage embryo, the pXEN cells contributed to wide-spread chimerism including visceral yolk sac, chorion, as well as embryonic gut and liver primordium in the fetus. The pXEN cells were shown to be an efficient nuclear donor for generating cloned offspring. Taken together, pXEN cells fulfil a longstanding need for a stable, chimera-competent, and nuclear transfer-compatible porcine embryonic cells with applications for genome editing in livestock.
